Helping you address discrimination in the workplace

On Behalf of | Oct 23, 2018 | Employment Litigation

Whether you just started a job or have been with the same company your entire adult life, it is important to understand the rights afforded to employees in Illinois and elsewhere. These rights essentially translate to duties imposed upon employers. For example, an employer has the duty to provide a safe working environment. They also have the duty to not discriminate against employees and address any instances of discrimination or sexual harassment.

While currently hot button topics, discrimination and sexual harassment in the workplace have always been treated as serious situations. However, it may not always be the easiest manner to address. For instance, many employees do not report these events right away because they may not feel comfortable airing grievances or reliving the experience. Initial actions taken may not work. And sometimes, the damages experienced can be intense, causing the need to file additional actions.
